mortensorchid Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 This did not happen to me (no really) it happened to a guy friend of mine T. I met T about three years ago, he had this girlfriend J. Both of them seemed nice enough, we were on a trivia team together. Eventually we lost our mojo for trivia nights and we dispursed save for a few get togethers once in a while for just said game nights. Last year, T came by to help fix my computer and told me that he and his girlfriend J had broken up. I said I was sorry, I did not know about that. I asked what happened. He said that she had started a new job somewhere and she told him that she did not want to be in a relationship for the first few weeks she was in this job. THat was, insidentally, a new one for me. So after said few weeks had gone by, apparently she came back and said she had made a mistake and was trying to get back. I made a terrible mistake in this. When T and I parted ways that day, I sent her an email through Facebook telling her that he had told me that they had broken up and I was extending sympathy her way. No response. Months later T and I were having a chat online and he said that she was very angry about that. I apologized to him, didn't realize I had done something wrong other than just saying "I'm sorry". Oddly enough, she chewed him out over it rather than me. ANd that was the last contact she ever had with me. I had a chat with T not too long ago, he said he told her the other month that he was not going to get back with her and that it was finally over with. After that, T and the rest of their mutual friends (me included) were unfriended. I'm sure there is more to it than just what I know, but that was a new one on me. "I want to be single while I start this new job?" What do others think of this?
outsidethebox Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 sounds like as good excuse as any to break up. And blame you for it in the process. I like her style.
dreamingoftigers Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 Good thing he didn't get back with her. Could you imagine if they got married? Every time she came off of parental leave syed have to divorce him before heading into the office.
ASG Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 To me that means "I want to check out the hotties at the new job and see if anyone strikes my fancy, and I theirs. I'll let you know how it goes". Clearly there was nothing/noone of interest at the new job, so she came back to the ex... 1
todreaminblue Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I think its really immature to start a relationship adn then chuck it in when you change jobs or get a new one or something falls through....her behavior later enforces that immaturity....tanty chuckin behavior........you go into a relationship on the idea of making it work no matter what life spits at you good or bad......in my opinion .....you dont start a relationship if the objective is to finish it or be wishy washy.........when you have a change it should become something that can be shared in that relationship....she was obviously after bigger fish to fry....then changed her mind.....when those fish didnt bite....deb
Author mortensorchid Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 I guess so, reading all these responses. I had just never heard of that before "I just got a new job so we have to cool it off for a bit". Looking back, plus what T told me about things between them it does make sense. I barely knew her, she was alright towards me the brief time I knew her, but I can only trust that T was telling me the truth about all of it and what it was all about. I apologized to him about it, I hoped I did not get him into trouble over it, but he said he wasn't concerned about that. And now that it's over and done with, c'est la vie.
